About the Poem
This poem was written when missing a very close friend. We can't always be where we want to be, so memories of yesterday fill our thoughts.
Yesterday |
| by Judy Burnette |
| I saw you only yesterday Yet it seems so long ago; When I am away from you There is a longing in my soul. I could not have known I'd miss you so As we said our good-byes; Or that this hunger inside me Would take me by surprise. I held you in my arms Was it only yesterday? I'll see you there tomorrow But I need you here today. To hold you close, to touch your face This one thing I would choose; I would change my tomorrows into yesterdays So I could share them again with you. |
